If you don’t like smoking just stay home, I shouldn’t have to stop smoking in public for you. If you want to not smoke just don’t, but don’t expect me to stop blowing smoke in your face or leaving clouds of it wherever I go.

Myth: Schizophrenia is caused by bad parenting or personal weakness.

Fact: #Schizophrenia is a medical illness caused by a variety of factors including genetics, stress, substance use and trauma, among others.

[CHEO Ottawa @CHEO]

“Unprecedented”- there’s no better word to describe the crisis at #CHEO. Yesterday, we reassigned our Surgical Day Unit and redeployed clinicians from all areas of the hospital to open a second Pediatric Intensive Care Unit.

Here's how YOU can help: https://t.co/OIjeJ57MDG

[Christina Fraser @Christina_MSW]

It really isn’t a big deal, it shouldn’t even NEED to be mandated. People should just do it in our communities right now

Science says wearing a small piece of material over your nose and mouth indoors could save a child's health. Would you? #MaskUp

Not only this - we are potentially accepting FOURTEEN YEAR OLDS on adult psychiatric units.

[Michael Warner @drmwarner]

There are 112 Paediatric ICU beds in Ontario.

There are 122 Paediatric ICU patients in Ontario.

During the worst of Wave 3 the adult system was never pushed to 109% occupancy of physical ICU beds.

What does @ongov have to say?

[Christina Fraser @Christina_MSW]

This was a huge loss

OPSEU/SEFPO leaders are speaking out about Queensway Carleton Hospital’s decision to cut in-house psychologist services, putting an end to in-patient & out-patient group therapy that patients in Ottawa West rely on. https://t.co/3vepUz3wVd #onpoli @MelissaCoenraad @ChrisyTremblay

@SteveDesroches is the only way to reach you about city counsillor work through your website? Or is there a better email address I can use?

[Dr. Lucky Tran @luckytran]

Long before COVID appeared, everyone should have been staying home when they were sick, and wearing a mask when they really needed to go out anyway. It’s incredible that we are still struggling to do this in the midst of a pandemic that has killed millions.

The @ongov actions to fix the ailing HC system so far:
-have COVID+ individuals return to work/school
-send frail elders needing LTC far from home w/o public debate
-continue to pay private agencies a premium to staff public hospitals
-consider further privatization

[Christina Fraser @Christina_MSW]

I have major concerns about the non biological &/or psychological issues that impact MAiD. The lack of resources to ensure quality of life and a good death are despicable.

[Brooks Fallis @BrooksFallis]

I suspect the government’s next move will be to get rid of free rapid testing so only those sick enough to need hospitalization will access a COVID test.

This will also disconnect people’s awareness of long-term COVID consequences from the acute phase of infection.

[Ahmed Ali @DrAhmednurAli]

Making poverty invisible isn't the same as eliminating it.

[Christina Fraser @Christina_MSW]

Also, my (presumably) not immunocompromised, 3x vaccinated partner (who masks in public) just got over his 4th COVID infection in 5 months. This happened with what minimal measures we have in place.

[Christina Fraser @Christina_MSW]

As a healthcare worker who just had their 2 year old discharged from an admission to @CHEO for pneumonia: i am VERY concerned.

Dissolved Science Table has deep concerns with CMOH and Ontario. Multiple erroneous decisions. ⁦@DrFahadRazak⁩

“This is not a way to handle the pandemic at this point," Evans said. "I think it's being led by some very, very simplistic thinking." https://t.co/TlKieJgYRM

[Christina Fraser @Christina_MSW]

“He disagrees with the move, noting it could put further strain on Ontario's health-care system, which has seen emergency departments close for hours or days at time this summer largely due to staff shortages.” Says @DrFahadRazak

[Gaibrie Stephen @SGaibrie]

It’s not “nobody wants to work anymore”.

It’s “nobody wants to be exploited anymore”.
